Today I was able to print the first four small plastic pieces we planned on using in our exhibit. The first few days of trying to print the pieces were relatively difficult. The printer would not warm up to the correct temperature in order to create the pieces. It took over two classes to get to printer to cooperate.

When we finally were able to fix the printer, we began by printing two of the four sample pieces to see if everything was on scale.

Below are the final four pieces. They are all less than 2 cm in length. For the next class, we plan on printing multiples of these pieces in case they are lost during the exhibit.
